This is the one thing to do this week to grow your business: Ask for Referrals (the Right Way)

✅ Action: Reach out to happy clients or trusted connections.

For Retail Shops (boutique, salon, café, etc.)

Script:

Hi [Name],

I hope you’re enjoying your [product/service]!

I wanted to ask a quick favour. Do you know someone who would love [what you offer, such as stylish clothes, great coffee, relaxing treatments] as much as you do?

We’d love to treat them just like we treat you, and as a thank you, I’ll send you a little something special if they come in.

Your support means the world.

Bonus Tip: Mention a small incentive such as a discount, gift, or loyalty points.

For B2B Businesses (marketing agency, IT support, consultancy, etc.)

Script:

Hi [Name],

It’s been a pleasure working with you.

I’m currently looking to connect with more [target clients, such as small law firms, retail owners, SaaS founders] who might benefit from [specific service you offer].

If anyone comes to mind, I’d truly appreciate an introduction. Just one or two would be amazing. I’ll ensure they’re well looked after.

Thanks in advance, and if I can ever support you in return, just say the word.

Bonus Tip: Personalise your ask by referencing the work we did for you or a mutual connection.
